It is ManageWP, redone from the ground up; designed to focus on what really matters in your WordPress workflow. Built with the completely new backend and frontend, we expect it to raise the bar on speed, reliability and security and revolutionize WordPress management, like the original did five years ago.

Getting Started with ManageWP Orion

Starting today, we’re sending out the first round of invitations to give ManageWP Orion a try, and each invited user will be able to invite their friends. If you still did not receive Orion and you can’t wait for it to reach you, let us know in the comments below.

When you start using ManageWP Orion, you’ll quickly discover that it doesn’t feel the same as ManageWP that you are used to – and that’s exactly the point. The new workflow is more natural and faster, saving you more time.

Word of caution: many features are still missing in Orion so do not feel disappointed; it is a proof of concept that we want to validate with you first. So please make sure you utilize that “Feedback” button like there is no tomorrow.

The Future

Before I talk about future, I’d like to first reflect on the past.

It’s been a five year ride for us at ManageWP and we would like to say a big hearty THANK YOU to all our clients, especially those of you who’ve been with us from the beginning, those who are with us now; those of you who expressed patience when you’ve been frustrated with our software or service; those of you who recommended us to your friends.

Thanks to your support and loyalty we are now determined to produce a WordPress productivity tool that isn’t rivaled by anything on the market – whether this is reliability, security, user experience, design, engineering – you name it.

You are going to see novelties left and right – aimed at easing your WordPress workflow whether this is website development, management or client tools. We also noticed an interesting trend recently – many of you with just one website are signing up for ManageWP. We take this as an indication that ManageWP brings the ease of use and interface that beats stock WordPress – and this is certainly one of the areas that we will expand on more in the future.

We are rolling over 1000 websites to WP from a proprietary platform. Looking for tools to ease the journey and monitor life support. I’d really love to try Orion as we want to do it right the first time.

Very interested in what you have done to improve the client reporting aspect of ManageWP. I believe there is a lot of potential here that is currently untapped and I have some ideas for how this should be implemented.

Would love a beta invite – we are a small (but mighty) design studio in Toronto, and while I’ve been using Sync / Backupbuddy to expedite maintenance, I have been following your ManageWP blog and recommending it to peers for years now. While we ultimately adopted the aforementioned (backupbuddy) first, the more I’ve been using your current solution trial the more I’ve been thinking ‘perhaps we backed the wrong horse here..’

It’s amazing to see so many users interested in testing ManageWP Orion. I’ve added everyone in the comment section to the beta list; please be patient as we’re rolling out invites in batches and there’s a lot of interest in trying out the Orion release.

We have a dedicated support team ready to assist, please open a support ticket from your ManageWP dashboard and they’ll be on top of it in no time. Please note that your website is down right now, which is the leading cause of website connectivity issues

Thanks for a great product. Just recently Premium Plugins on my dashboard have not been showing up. After talking to support they now say Premium Plugins are not supported but for the almost year I’ve been a member I’ve seen premium plugins listed and available for update. What!?! Will Orion support premium plugins?

Nemanja Aleksic

Premium plugins and themes need to implement our API hook in their code so you could update them just like plugins and themes from the WordPress repo. A lot of developers followed suite and their plugins can be updated via ManageWP.
